SNU, you are a complete moron. Hammons has vastly improved over his SO year and he will be better next year. And, oh by the way, the Notorious BIGGIE just committed to Purdue. How do you like THAT?
Purdue vs IU matchups next year

SNU, you are a complete moron. Hammons has vastly improved over his SO year and he will be better next year. And, oh by the way, the Notorious BIGGIE just committed to Purdue. How do you like THAT?
Dude all this back and forth we've done seems to be for nothing. Now lets move on to matchups that include Swanigan. Lol.
What happens to Edwards? Does he move to the 3? I liked him with Hammons because he could step out and hit the 3. Can Swanigan do that as well as Edwards? I'm interested to see how Hammons and Swanigan work together. They seem like more similar players than Edwards and Hammons.
Ha snu just wet his panties with Biggie committing. Snu just keeps looking more and more like a fool on here.
He's improved so much that he's a second round draft pick and that's not even certain. Real improvement. His stats really show he's gotten better, too. GTFO.
Congrats on Swanigan. That's the first 5* since the Big Dog. Wonder if you'll hang a banner for the commitment...
Says the non High school grad LOL
What is funny is even funnier is you think that your post is some slant against me, hahaha yeah I sure do feel bad about serving my country for nearly 20 years and being able to retire before I am 50 thanks to it.
Go back pigs dimwit. You just keep getting embarrassed here so much I am almost starting to feel sorry for you.
I'd say the Black Knight just sliced the Loosier down to size. LOL
SNU, you are an embarrassment to IU...and that's saying something considering IU's redneck fanbase.

SNU - You've been surprisingly civil here over the past few weeks. Please, don't let Swanigan's decision and a few Purdue reactions provoke you into sinking to the level of a common troll. It will just invite a strong reaction and bring down the quality of discussion on this board.
See I was right. I'm not the only one who noticed. Hail, Hail to Old Purdue...Don't resist the change
The force is very strong.
The force is very strong.
Edwards will still be on the floor whether it be at the 1,2 or 3. He will probably slide to the four at times as well. That's the beauty of his game, he can play every position for stretches of need be. Adding Swanigan won't hurt Purdue at all. I can see lineups with one of our "non points" playing that position and using Davis to guard the point if need be. This allows a lineup of size and shooters. If Hill is in, I see Painter using him with a lineup of shooters and possibly Haas or Hammons. Example would be Hill, Mathias, Davis, Edwards, Hass. I can also see a lineup where Hammons slides to the 4 with Biggie out and Haas plays the 5. It will all be about the matchups but the beauty is, no matter the opposition, we should be able to gain an advantage. Foul trouble is less of a worry now, injuries will play less of a factor, competition in practice for playing time should help everyone get better. Tons of possibilities as we can go small or big or any variance in between.
It should be a good year. Do you still see IU favored or has your view changed at all?
I don't know man. I think Edwards at the 3 takes away from some of the advantages he had at the 4. This is just my opinion, but I don't see him real productive at the 1 or 2. I could see him split time at the 4 and backup Davis at the 3. I think he could still be productive at the 3, but maybe not as productive as he would be at the 4. Agree about your lineup and matchups. It seems like it could be very situational as well. There pretty much isn't foul trouble at the 3-5 for you guys. None. Wouldn't worry about that at all. There are still plenty of question marks though IMO at the 1 and 2. Yes you have guys coming back, but will they be enough of a threat to really utilize your size or will teams sag and let them shoot? I definitely don't see teams jumping the shooters against you guys as much as I see them clogging the paint.
Bottom line is you guys just got a huge boost. Not sure it changes my opinions about who is at the top of the conference yet as I'd like to see how things play out at for a few games before I change anything. I still see Maryland and MSU at the top followed by IU, PU and UM (in any order). As far as being favored at IU, who the hell knows now. We could be. I think it just depends on how both Purdue and IU play up to that point. Prior to Swanigan, I think IU would have been the favorite even if Purdue was ranked a little higher than IU. Now, I have no damn clue. If we're both playing really well I could see it being a pickem especially since it's a rivalry game.
It's a rivalry game in the Hall of Calls. IU will likely shoot 50 freebies to our 7 and win by 5.
Who does IU use on Swanigan? That is the question? Is Williams gonna guard him?
I think many people out too much emphasis on the numbers 1-3 in the system we run. Those are basically interchangeable parts in the motion and if possible the 4 as well. We have plenty of guys capable of bringing the ball up with the basketball IQ to attack the press if needed. We don't use the point to dribble drive like IU does. Davis can guard quick guys like Yogi if need be. With Hammons at the rim, guys getting beat doesn't become a huge problem and Swanigan can be on the weak side for any rebounds. So I can see us having plenty of shooters on the floor now and throwing capable bodies at the point and get the job done fine. The shooters have all shown they can defend, so that won't be an issue.
Zero clue who guards Swanigan. The good news, it'll probably be someone who creates a mismatch on the other end of the floor for him as well, like Williams.
If Williams doesn't develop a shot, once again Sillimas won't need to be guarded on the wing. He gets his points in close and that's gonna be in Swanigans favor, especially with AJ hanging around.
Agree to an extent. Swanigan isn't that big though either. I believe he's like 6'8. He's not towering over anyone at the 4 for IU. It'll be interesting to see how B10 teams play you guys now with Swanigan. I feel less good about the game against Purdue now than I did earlier today. I still think IU can win though. Like I said many times, there is going to be a lot riding on this game in Bloomington. I'd bet both teams are at the top four of the conference and ranked. Good to have the rivalry mean something again. It's been a while since both teams were this good.
Oh yeah? What point guard do you have that could start on any of the projected top half of the B10? Thompson? Mathias? Hill? None of those guys start anywhere but Purdue.
Maryland? Nope. MSU? Nope. IU? Nope. UM? Nope. OSU? Nope. Wisky? Nope.
I'll say it again. You have no point guards.
And I'll say it again. You have no clue. We have the PGs we need for our system to be successful. Man don't you just get tired of being wrong all the time?
Oh that's weird. You're wrong again. Go look at Rivals, or 247sports, or ESPN who all have him listed at 6'8.
So you're happy with two guards who wouldn't start for any other B10 team that's going to finish in the top half of the league? Talk about low standards....
Right from the front page: "Purdue recruited the 6-foot-9, 260-plus-pound Swanigan to play power forward alongside existing centers A.J. Hammons and Isaac Haas and pitched to him the prospect of being the "face of the program."
Man I am tired of being right.
The stupidity you are posting is just becoming amazing even for you now. I mean I am actually speechless at how dumb you have gotten with all of this.
But fear not, for I am done embarrassing you for the day. Others will continue I have no doubt, but seriously you need to finish GED. You really need the education.
You can't argue my point, can you? So you resort to name calling because you can't back up your post. Tell me who any of those four (Hill, Mathias, Stephens or Thompson) would start for out the following teams:
Maryland (Trimble and not sure who else)
MSU (Valentine and Harris)
IU (Yogi and Blackmon)
UM (Walton and LeVert)
Wisky (Jackson and Koenig sp?)
I'll wait...
So I gave you three sources that claim he's 6'8 and you give me one and claim victory. Understandable you couldn't make it into Purdue.
In Purdue's system, the guards do not have to be all league players. They can be average and still win a lot of games. The guards Purdue recruits are recruited for the system in which they play. Purdue will have 7 players (Davis, Hill, Mathias, Stephens, Thompson, Cline, and Weatherford) to play 2 positions. There should not be any issues with fatigue coming out of that group. Vince Edwards can also be used as a guard. He can handle the ball and had a low rate of turnovers. The most important thing all the guards will do is wear out the opposing guards through defense.
As a Purdue fan, I think you need to give up here. IU and Purdue have fans that drink the Kool-Aid way too much and you're outnumbered here as much as I would be at Peegs.
Personally I like Purdue's chances against IU on a neutral court; having to play only once and @IU makes an already tough game for Purdue even tougher. IU has some really good players, the reason I think that Purdue has the advantage is due to defense. If Bryant gets 1 or 2 early fouls, IU will be in a very tough position, especially without Perea. Obviously you will take IU and we will take Purdue, but you are correct in that this game could go either way. If the game were at Mackey, however, I doubt IU would really have a chance. Either way, enjoy your season! I'm looking forward to an IU/PU game where both teams are talented!
With that/this IU team, how does he possibly NOT win 20 games. It's almost mathmatically impossible! Yogi is probably the main reason Crean is still at IU. If Crean ever decided to teach real defense at IU, with that yearly talent, IU would be real dangerous! Please, please, keep Crean, & the "No defense, no problem" attitude.
Chuck/Swanigan Strong!!!
Go Boilers!!!
Not applying is different than not being able to get in to Purdue. You can keep trying to knock me on that, but it isn't working. Maybe if you ever actually got your GED you could see just where you are failing in all of this.
But for giggles here is an article from his home town that also lists him at 6' 9"

Pay attention to: "Everything clicked for the now 6-9, 260-pound Swanigan as a senior at Homestead High School"
You lose.
